„AND I FEEL WHAT I WANT
THIS IS A LIFE
LIVE IT OR NOT
THIS IS THE NIGHT“

But who provides the soundtrack for such a night of hedonism and exuberance? A quick three seconds of fiddling with the radio and then a flashback: a Roland TB-303 bass line, a pumping drum machine, and a distorted funk guitar loop? Is LCD Soundsystem playing in my house again? No, much better: The Helmut Bergers from Salzburg are back and will turn your place into an „Acid House“. 

Bio The Helmut Bergers

No, The Helmut Bergers aren't hiding from anything. It's always present in the band's name and also in their live performance: a mixture of arrogance, bravado, a can-do attitude, total collapse, and gutter glamour. Wonderfully suited to songs that, with their seemingly effortlessly crafted melodies, are never short of hooks, choruses, and little sound ideas.

Understatement meets pathos, boredom meets restlessness, and everywhere there's that twitchy melancholy that belongs to the aftermath of every euphoric night of partying.

They neither view the kids as lost, nor garnish the shattered pop promises with cynicism. Rather, The Helmut Bergers succeed in the paradox of viewing and pursuing pop music with a very clear and seemingly serene perspective, as something that, despite much opposition, still deserves to be believed in. Glamour, as we all know, doesn't exist without drama, decay, decadence, and dirty underwear. Everything else is bling-bling.
